The latest scientific research on how meditation combats stress and trauma

Bob explains the three basic types of meditation and their specific effects on health and the brain. As doctors increasingly prescribe meditation techniques to patients for stress-related disorders, scientists are gaining a better understanding of how different techniques from a wide variety of traditions, both modern and ancient, produce different results. Bob explains the three main categories of meditation – focused attention, open monitoring, and automatic self-transcending – and how they differ in practice and results.
In our highly competitive modern society, professionals are in a constant search of ways to enhance their edge. Bob speaks on how meditation allows the mind to develop focus and equanimity – broadening one’s ability to be aware of the big picture and attend sharply to the important details. It develops maximally coherent brain functioning, the prerequisite to “being in the zone,” and attaining peak performance.
Every day 23 veterans die from suicide and thousands more attempt it. Until now, little has halted the descent into hell for our nation’s heroes. Today, however, there is a practical, scalable, immediate solution for veterans afflicted with these hidden wounds of war. Bob speaks about the latest research showing how Transcendental Meditation twice a day significantly decreases stress and anxiety and reduces the symptoms of PTSD and depression by approximately 50%.
